    July 2011 Bandsters!

    Hi Guys! It's been three weeks since I was banded on the 1st and everything so far is good. I've lost a total of 23lbs between the pre-op and after. I just started soft foods and go for my first fill on August 9th.... so excited. I wanted to share a couple of satisfying recipes I found on here that are really good. Fat Free Refried Beans mixed with a little salsa and fat free cheddar cheese. Microwave for 30s - 1m and top with a small amount of FF sour cream... Very Good Put some FF or reduced fat Mozzarella cheese in a non stick frying pan, in the shape of a small pizza... top with some Turkey Pepperoni (run it through whatever you used for your pureed diet). When cheese is melted use a spatula to get it out of pan. When it's done you can dip it in some Pasta sauce... I used some sausage flavored sauce and it was very good. Hope all you guys are doing great!

    Any July 2011 Bandsters?

    Hi Everyone, I was banded on friday, July 1st and was home the next day by 1:00. The pain was pretty bad the first day but has gotten a lot better since then. As for the gas pains... walk, walk, walk, it really does help. I am now on the liquid diet and feel pretty good. I'm actually not hungry.... FINALLY! LOL To all you other July banders good luck. Here's to our "New Beginning".
  3. Hi Kevin, I believe we had our surgeries the same day at SOCH. My Mother had a great time talking with your wife in the waiting room. How's everything going? Wendy

    Any July 2011 Bandsters?

    Hi Guys, I too am having surgery July 1st (10 days!!! not that I'm counting, LOL) and I am very excited. I started my pre-op diet on friday and so far so good. The first couple days were the worst, and my stomach growls non stop. My pre op appointments all went good, except I have a mild case of sleep apnea so I'm hoping the pulmonologist clears me before my surgery date. I go see him on the 29th which is cutting it close but my fingers are crossed. I have been overweight pretty much my whole life, but since I became a single mother my weight has gotten out of hand the past couple years. I can sit here and say that I just want to be skinny and look great in the clothes I buy, but it's not about that. I just want to be healthy and live a long life with my children. It just kills me that I am not able to do alot of things that they want to do because of my weight. Best of Luck to all us July Banders!! God Bless!
